i got a couple today, and at first they seemed impressive once on the front wheels…..until….

i put them on the back wheels, and they are so thick (as in the profile, not depth), that they rub on the tab that holds the PCB cover on. YARGH!

any ideas?

[twizm]

d’oh!

oh well, ill still buy a fair bit nonetheless.

might try different companies, maybe they have some different materials/textures etc.

could make a whole FAQ post about it!

i could the the resident tyre techie!:D

its not really better for weight distribution, you want as much of the weight positioned in the middle as close to the ground as you can get it, which is why the internal dual cell is such a success, although the aesthetics of it would help

ill give my booster a go with my 3.0 tomy and the stock 2.2

ill be buying mine tomorrow, so there isnt much use betty.

seating them wont be too hard.

wouldnt stretching them reduce the grip?

by pack i mean the pack of various pen grips, what does everyone use?

run a 4.2, THEN see how fast you go

ah alcohol, the only thing that lets you celebrate glorious occasions by forgetting them!

if you cant remember what happened, you can only assume it was a good night 😉

speaking of drinking, ive said id nver drink again, that was BEFORE i turned 18.

try drinking half a bottle of malibu and saying ‘why arent i drunk yet?’ then falling over and not waking up for 17hrs…

ive never had a hangover, ever. i promise!

why not get the initial D set and get uA to mod it?

[twizm]

i spose the question i should be asking is ‘do the standard tomy cells have a higher output than the 10-15min runtime batteries?’

[twizm]

impressive looking. the paint will finish it off.

what shell was it to begin with?

[twizm]

Sure am uA.

the only problems are not having enough room to use it properly and its not very responsive. im not sure if this is because my batteries in the remote are a little old or its the pcb, but my shen chassis is and still was the most responsive. it seems as if the booster pcb is lagging by about half a second?

not saying its your work, but im curious if this is a problem with the remote, the car or the batteries.

yeh bought it with the mod installed. just single FETs.

i couldnt see the point in FET-ing twice if one lot of FETs can give the maximum current from one cell, which is what i run. as for the steering, well, a 4.2 booster with FETS is gonna need alot more than just steering FETs to save is a$$ from major flippage and walls…

[twizm]

what ratio is the red gears? 12:1?

id like some of them if anyone is willing to split some

[twizm]

the auto modellista set with the FETs cost me $60AU, and the rest of the stuff i got off ebay in a pack for $25AU (overpriced i know, but after a problem with toyeast involving them not shipping my goods months after payment, i didnt mind)

forgot to mention! the rx-7 is packing a tomy 3.0 and a standard tomy battery in a shen chassis.

not much competition for the r34, but at least it hasnt have so much torque off the mark that it just sits there eating tyres…

[twizm]

i turned 18 too,(from what i can recall…) but im on permenant holidays 🙂

no more school for meee!

now i gotta flip burgers full time at burger king to buy a car

[twizm]

that track would be awesome. too bad i have no time, no money nor patience to build something of that quality.

i wonder why kind of paper he printed the road images on? does paper give bits good grip?

on the topic, are tomy slot car springs ok to use?

my tomy r32 pullback has mismatched panel colors, and thats how i bought it!

makes me unhappy much to the max.

[twizm]

for the drive train to the rear you could use a belt drive, a rubber band from the motor the the rear axle would work. no torque though 🙁
